Srpska Open 2023: Men's draw, schedule, players, prize money breakdown and more

Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters - Day Three
Novak Djokovic is the top seed at the Srpska Open.

The Srpska Open in Banja Luka is set to make its debut on the ATP tour and will be held from April 17-23. It is one of three tournaments taking place on the men's side next week, with the Barcelona Open and the BMW Open being the others.

22-time Major champion Novak Djokovic leads the pack as the top seed. Despite an early exit from the Monte-Carlo Masters, Djokovic cannot be ruled out of contention for the remainder of the clay season. If there's one thing the Serb knows how to do well, it is to rebound spectacularly after a disappointing result.

Despite many of the top players opting to compete in Barcelona, the debut edition of the Srpska Open has still assembled a rather strong field. Here's all the relevant information regarding the tournament:


What is the Srpska Open?

The Srpska Open is a brand new addition to the men's tour. It has replaced the Serbia Open on the calendar, which used to take place in Belgrade. The Srpska Open is classified as an ATP 250 event.


Venue

The Srpska Open will be held at the National Tennis Center Complex in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.


Players

Andrey Rublev is the second seed at the Srpska Open.
Andrey Rublev is the second seed at the Srpska Open.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is the top seed at the tournament. He kicked off his clay season at the Monte-Carlo Masters and made it to the third round, where he lost to Lorenzo Musetti in a tough three-set encounter.

Andrey Rublev is the second seed and is currently a semifinalist at the Monte-Carlo Masters. He'll take on fellow top-10 player Taylor Fritz on Saturday for a spot in the Monte-Carlo final.

Borna Coric is seeded third, but is currently on a four-match losing streak. Miomir Kecmanovic is the fourth seed; he started his European clay swing on a good note, finishing as the runner-up in both singles and doubles at the Estoril Open.

However, Kecmanovic was unable to maintain his momentum thereafter. The Serb lost to Musetti in the first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Richard Gasquet, Tallon Griekspoor, Jiri Lehecka, and Gael Monfils are some of the other notable names in the mix. The main draw will be unveiled on Saturday.


Schedule

The tournament begins on Monday, April 17, with first-round matches. The second-round matches will conclude on Thursday.

The quarterfinals and semifinals are scheduled for Friday and Saturday respectively, with the final set for Sunday, April 23.
